About Us

Bobcat Build's Big Event is an annual day of service that works towards bridging the gap between the Texas State community and our neighbors within Hays County through community service. Since it's introduction to Texas State University in 2003, this event has served as an opportunity for Bobcat students, staff, and faculty to show their appreciation to the community, create positive impact, and give a big “Thank You” to our neighbors in and around San Marcos.

Mission

Bobcat Build's Big Event strives to create and maintain a Texas State tradition of pride and unity as Bobcats come together to promote a sense of awareness and community.

Vision

Our vision consists of two parts - programming and impact. Our planning team envisions this event as an opportunity to bridge the gap between the Texas State community and the citizens of Hays County through community service. In addition, service does not start or stop with this event, nor does it have any limitations. As our team engages planning and service opportunities throughout the year, The Big Event works to serve as a prime example of what it means to live out the Texas State value of service and leadership for the public good.

Staffing

Bobcat Build's Big Event is planned and executed each year through the Leadership & Service area within Student Involvement and Engagement. Overseen by 1 full-time staff coordinator, our planning team normally comprises of 4-6 student planning board members, 30-50 student committee members, and the assistance of full-time and student staff within Student Involvement and Engagement.
